This morning the NFD and Plymouth Ambulance responded to Green St for 10 people sickened by (CO) Carbon Monoxide.

It is extremely important to having WORKING smoke and CO detectors in your home and to test them monthly. #norristownfire #norristown #nfd19401 #silentkiller #carbonmonoxideawareness #carbonmonoxidepoisoning #carbonmonoxidedetector ...
